I Letters Patent No. 111,599, dated February Y, 1871.

IMPROVEMENT IIN v Essi-:Ls FoaHoLDlNG olL.

The Schedule referred t in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whomtt may concern:` y l Beit ,known that I, ARTHUR '1. WooDwAnD, of the city, county, and State 'of New York, have invented and made a certain new and useful Improvement in Lamps. and Oil or Fluid-holdingVessels;

`and. I do hereby declare` the following to be a full,`

clear, and exact description of the said invention. a A want has long been experienced of a reliable .lamp and oil-holding vessel for use .on board ships and elsewhere, which will be suciently strong and will keep the oil or other tluid at an even temperature and prevent it from corroding, which are the objectionable features of the lamps and oil-vessels now in use.

The object of my invention is 'toconstruct a lamp or oil-vessel' specially so that the oil or other fluidh'olding receptacle shall not be liable to be broken, and

shall keep the oil or nid at an even temperature and prevent its corrosion.

My invention consists in lining a metallicoil or {luid-holding vessel with wood or other heat and cold -non-conducting material,'so as -to prevent.the oil or other uid from .coming in lcontact with the metallic surface of the vessel to prevent its corrosion and to keep the oil or uid at a more even temperature and.

in better condition for burning than when subjected to the sudden changes of heat and cold in metallic or glass vessels. y

, I, form the lining of the desired thickness of wood or 'other suitable material, and saturate the same with l glue or other suitable compound or cement to prevent the oil or uid from penetrating.

I do not conne myself to any particular mode of manufacture, asit is obvious that the said lining or inside coating may be made in many ways. :The linings or inside oil-receptacles for lamps may be turned outof a solid piece, or maybe pnt together in sections, or they may be made of a mixture of sawdust and a suitable cement orother suitable yielding material, and compressed to shape: e a

The .larger oil or fluid-holding vessels may be made in like manner, of a shape and size to suit the metallic case in which they are inclosed, or sheets of veneer may be rolled or laid together and caused to adhere by glue or other suitable material, and formed or cnt to suit the metallic case.

In the accompanying drawing-- lligure 1 is a-section of a lamp, showing the inside lining or oil-receptacle.

a denotes the metallic case, and b, the lining or oil-holding vessel. l Figure 2 shows a section of an pil-holding vessel or tank, coated'or lined, as above described.

Having thus fully described my invention,

/ What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-l ent, is Y lhe combination, with a metallic vessel, of a wooden or equivalent oil or `luidlholdingvessel, arranged there-A in substantially as -andvfor the purposes seiforth `1and described. Witnesses: ARTHUR .'l. WOODWARD.
